ENCOURAGES CHILDREN TO BE INQUISITIVE & TO LISTEN & LEARN

By Soaring Heart - October 24, 2002

WHAT MAKES A RAINBOW? is a winner because it's clever, well-made, colorful, educational, beautifully illustrated and sturdy. (No, a child can't rip out the ribbons; however, don't give them any scissors! Ha.) Little Rabbit asks his mother, "What makes a rainbow?" and she tells him to ask his friends. He proceeds to ask: Ladybug/Red, Mr. Fox/Orange, Little Chick/Yellow, Mr. Grasshopper/Green, Bluebird/Blue, and Butterfly/Purple. (Where are the MRS.? Hmm.) Every page is predominantly one color and with each turn of the page, a shiny ribbon appears, each under the previous--an inventive idea! Love it.At the end, Little Rabbit's mother reappears and says, "Now you know what makes a rainbow: RAIN, COLORS--red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and SUNSHINE!"

What Makes a Rainbow?

By sklfd - April 10, 2000

This is an excellent book, not only for kids to learn the colors and order of a rainbow, but also to talk about different animals and their colors. I read this book with my kindergarten class and they loved it -- especially how the ribbons pop up after every turn of the page. Overall a great book for learning or just for reading aloud!
